Assunta, M. Desplaccs, and Mr. W. say, to the singula r ly di scre ditable opposition raised H. Payne. by Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, M.P. for the borough of Lambeth, to the proposed grant of £20,000 to Sir ROWLAND HILL.' A grant, recollect, which was recommended to the House of Commons by a Royal Message—and the instant and loyal accept ance of which recommendation had just before last evening been very cordially and eloquently urged upon the House by Lord PALMERSTON, as an act of simple gratitude to a Great Public Benefactor ! The raising of any objection whatever to the passing of a vote of £20,000 as a grant to a man like Sir ROWLAND HILL we take to have been nothing less than an indignity, not alone to the QUEEN and to the Prime Minister, but also, in a direct manner, to the House of Commons and to the whole nation. Mr. WeeLiams'sproceeding in this matteryesterday was, in truth, nothing less than a flagrant indecorum. It was an insult to Sir ROWLAND HILL himself, and hardly less of an insult to every one of us whom Sir ROWLAND HILL has so largely benefitted indivi dually ! There is literally no extravagance at all in saying this. It is simply and purely a plain matter of fact. it is a matter of fact, moreover, that was proclaimed last year (1863) between the Ist of Jan nary and the 31st of December—how many times do you suppose ? Why, no less than 642,000,000 times! How ? By the passage of so many letters through the Post-office! When ? As we have but just now intimated—not a hundred years ago, but—only last twelvemonth ! Where ? Not a hundred miles off—in St. Martin's-le-Grand, under the shadow of St. Paul's Cathedral ! Here is a good and gifted man, who has per sonally benefitted all classes of his fellow -country men, from the patrician to the peasant, from the palace to the cottage—not once in a way, observe, but continually, perpetually, during a long series of years—and who has himself personally, during now very nearly a quarter of a century, been sedalously engaged in carrying out his magnificent scheme of a Penny Postal System, setting it in full and energetic operation, develop. ing it as a system in a variety of new and in calculably important depertments, instance this the Money Order Department and the Book Post De• partment—and who now, in the seventieth year of his age, having nobly earned repose from his long labours—it is suggested by the QUEEN herself, in a Royal Message to Parliament, shall receive from the People ho has so largely benefited, from the nation of which he has been so vast a bene factor—shall receive as a token of the national gra titude the sum, not of 1100,000, not even of £50,000, but of merely £20,000 sterling ! MACADAM, another great benefactor, another of the great developers of modern civilisation—also (as in the instance of Sir ROWLAND HILL), by the suggestion of a very simple idea, yet an idea that, with all its simplicity, had never before occurred to any man, a scheme as Simple in its contrivance es COLUMBUS'S plan for making an egg stand on end—MacaD.am for his suggestion of breaking blocks of granite into little bits and strewing them over the highway, there to be ground into a level road by the very traffic it was to be the means of facilitating— MACADAM received in his time from the nation £lOO,OOO sterlin g ! Her MAJESTY suggests that Parliament should give Sir ROWLAND, us author of the penny postage system, not £lOO,OOO, but merely £20,000, after a life cf severe labour, and when he is already in the seventieth year of his age—and, immediately upon this gracious suggestion from the Crown has been made, Mr. IV ILLI.SMS, the member for Lambeth, interposes between the Nation and the great National Benefactor with his most indecorous, his most discreditable, his little less than disgraceful objection. It was an objection only heard with pain and impatience, immediately to be set aside by the House of Commons as one altogether of its kind simply beneath con tempt. But, the discomfort of it is this—that it should ever have been raised—even for an instant— even by a captious economist, such as this member for the borough of Lambeth. If it were possible we should like to have the record of this flagrant gaucherie on the part of Mr. WILLIAMS erased from the entries upon Hansard.

Various indications are perceptible in the political horizon which reveal to the initiated the desire of Government to shorten the Parliamentary session Other symptoms, tee, are very apparent, showing the frail and feeble tenure by which they cling to the benches on the right hand of the Speaker. In he course of this very week they have suffered two defeats, and have themselves withdrawn two mea sures—all of them tokens of grave import. In the case of the Writs Registration Bill, withdrawn by the Lord Advocate on Thursday evening, the oppo. sition was so strong and so unanimous that it is not surprising that its promoter should think discretion the better part of valour. The object of the bill was professedly to facilitate the transfer of lend in Scotland, and especially to do away with the ex. Pause attending the double system of search. But its objectors, while readily admitting these ends to be highly desirable, were of opinion that the means proposed to be adopted were wholly inefficient, and in themselves undesirable. The House of Commons represents very accurately the general feeling of Englishmen, When it steadily opposes all tendencies towards centralisati on. t them Long experience, in addi common sense and independence tion to theh hex co of spirit, the security afforded to public liberty by a wise dissemination of authority and the existence of power, that check and balance manic p a l sy s t em one another. Consequently, our is warmly cherished by the People, and ell local rights and privileges jealously preserved. Paris may be France, but London is not England. The centralising tendency of the Lord Advocate's mea sure was, therefore, one of the strongest objections to it, but hon. members were not slow in bringing forward other reasons. It was contended in favou r of the bill that it would effect a great saving, but considerable doubt was expressed as to its ultimat e economy. Instead of the various registrars now scattered throughout the country, it is proposed to have all the work of registration done at one general office in Edinburgh. Tire Lord Advocate argued that it must be cheaper to employ one central staff than twenty local registrars ; but, on a close exa mination, this loge is not conclusive. Sir J. FEB. GUSSON, in opposing the second reading, asserted that in his opinion the establishment of a central general cfece would add largely to the expense, since a great number of clerks would have to be em ployed possessing that local knowledge which would be indispensable to the transactions of the business of the office.

The worst thing Mr, WILLIAMS, the member for Lambeth, has yet done, Es a cheese-paring stickler for economy, h 3 did last evening. It Was not only the worst thing he has vet adventured upcn doing, bat, equally beyord all donbt, it was the moat ridi.;ulous of all even his many absurd :,roceedings in Parliament. What possibly, it may be asked by an ;one reading this, who may not yet have chanced to glance through the report of yesterday's sitting THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING-, JUNE 11, 1864. time for the discussion of such a comprehensive scheme. The abolition of the double search system met naturally with very general approval, but there is no reason why such an alteration should not be made without the wholesale changes involved in the Lord Advocate's measure. The end of the debate was; as we have said, that the Lord Advo cate withdrew the measure, remarking that he did not feel inclined to press it frcm the manifest dis. inclination of the Scotch members to support it. If these gentlemen represent fairly the interests and intelligence of their constituencies, such a fact is a sufficient argument against the bill; and it is eel.- tainly wise to give ample time for a careful con sideration of the pros and cons. The Marquis of CLANItICARDE is resolved to keep up the question of the enlistment of Irish emi grants. In this respect he has acted wisely, and due credit should be awarded to him for his zeal and perseverance in the furtherance of this desired objecr, He has the satisfaction of having partially succeeded at last in his attempt, for Earl RUSSELL so far conceded as to promise to produce the papers required by the noble marquis. It is very gratify ing that such should be the case, for whatever turn events may take nothing can be more provoking than the mystery which has prevailed on the subject of At:aeriea sine^ the eommrsntsprnPnt of the present Session. Day after day and week after week have questions been put to the various members of the Government, but little or nothing has been gained thereby. By common consent all official personeges agreed to let the matter go by default, as it were, and vague allusions and very indefinite remarks were all the utterances that the sage and sapient mem bers of our present Cabinet allowed themselves to deliver, or the Legislature to receive. Whether warned by all he has seen and heard, or getting in different at last to such quasi friends as his trans. atlantic allies have proved themselves to be, Earl RUSSELL has taken rather a new tone in the affair, and spoken more in the manner which is suitable to one in his high position than he has done hitherto during the course of the long war in America. So far this is as it should be, but at the same time it must be borne in mind that there is a great differ ence between voluntary service and enforcea aid. It is quite another thing for a Minister to come to the Hou3e and impart information over important topics, and for him to pooh pooh all attempts at its elucidation, and decry the endeavours of those who seek eager'y and anxiously for further tidings of its style and character. When Lord CLAINE,ICARDE before spoke on this subject it suited the Foreign Secretary to meet the demand in a very unpropi tiatory manner. He fired up on behalf of his favour ites, and tried that most wretched of arguments the to quoque principle of defence. The Confederates had done so much damage, and had broken through all conventional rules and infringed the laws o nations by thair conduct in regard to the building of ships, and soon. This did not answer the pur pose in vievr, for no one beyond his own immediate circle was at all impressed with the indignant re marks or convinced by the plausible but partial statement. It is worth while to study the speech of Lord CLANRICARDE attentively, and dwell on its most striking particulars. Thus only can we ar rive at a fair estimate of the affair, and judge of the length to which the Federals have gone in defiance of prescribed limits and in the face of known regu lations. He put the case very forcibly by pointing out the marked difference that existed in the con duct of the Government towards the Northern and Southern States. They had given every facility to one of the belligerents, and put every obstacle in the way of the other aide. In like manner the en listment for foreign countries had never yet been carried on to such an extent as at present. In England also this practice, too, was prevailing, and he had heard from many quarters relative to it . The manner in which these men were engaged was very ingenious, but, on rEflection, most far-sighted people Can see through the dodge, as it may be termed. It is given out that the immense loss of men in America has occasioned a deficit in the number of workmen, and that these immigrants were to supply their place. The noble marcpsis gave som e details of the extraordinary manner in which some of the unfortunate fellows had been treated who were deluded into coming over on the spacious pleas presented to them in the insidious arguments employed by other agents of the Federal Govern ment. When they had landed strong drink was given to them, and they were advised to join the ranks of the Federal army. Some were turned out who refused, and forced to live upon the charity of their f ellow.countrymen, others shared a worse fate. That it is time far cur Government to do something will be allowed by the most indif• f eren t, when they know that a general of the Fede ral army complained of them sending so many foreigners. Ho also stated that they were not in a fir state when sent,for many h a d b een drugged, and when they came to their senses refused to do duty, which was natural enough considericg they had been tricked, "In thew cases the men were carry out thischarge which they themselves desired, unless it were done very gradually, and the reason they gave for this apprehension was the enormous staff which would be required. It is already ad• mitted that the fees both in Edinburgh and in the counties are much too high, but the new measure of reform not only allows them to remain at their present height for two years more, since the trans fer is not to take place until after December, 1866, but it renders it competent for the Government, when the act is once in force, to raise the salaries of any of the officers to any amount which Parliament may agree to. It is true that Parliamentary sanction is thus necessary for such increase, but the members thinking perhaps of their :louses, and matters hurried over late at night, ez• pressed a good deal of misgiving as to the real economy of such an arrangement. There seemed to be an impression that the new measure would give reason for a considerable amount of patronage, which might under some circumstances be liable to abuse. Sir J. FERGUSSON also oppcsed it on the ground of the delay and inconvenience it would occasion. Oat of 14,305 deeds registered annually, only 3,244 have been registered in Edinburgh, so that there is no great inclination on the part of the people towards a centralising registry. It generally happens that persons get such deeds registered where they can have them done quickest and most easily, and often their agents wish to wit ness the process, so that if it is incumbent on them to come from the extreme parts of the capital it will occasion much annoyance and loss of time. It was asltecl very aptly—what uuld be the feeling in England if it were proposed to remove all the conveyancing business throughout the country to London. The lawyers of the metropolis might not possibly object to such a plan, but it would cer tainly be received with anything but favour by the general body politic. The late period of the Session was another great argument against proceeding with a measure which, although not of much general interest, is still of considerable import ance to a large portion of her AiAJESTY'S sub jects. It is very undesirable to hurry any measure of a lasting nature through the House at the close of a session ; and, although we cannot be said to have reached that point, still th general impression was that there was not sufficien shot without trial.' Surely we have come to a pretty pass, if our countrymen and the subjects of our Sovereign, are to be inveigled by false pre. tences, taken far away from the protection of their own laws, and then murdered in reality, because it is all a sham about martial law when they were only meek soldiers, having been dupes and victims from the outset. The noble marquis made some earnest observations in conclusion as to the necessity of doing something to controvert these manoeuvres. He very truly said that he did not want war, but if he was asked did he propose to go to war if remon -1 strances failed, be would reply, %Vhst were we ever to go to war for if not for maintaining the honour and dignity of the country. This sentence should be stereotyped in the minds of our vacillat ing Government and timid politicians. "Why did we pay thirty millions a year for our army and navy if these forces were not to be employed in maintaining the honour of the country, and afford ing protection to our fellow countrymen." This is the only right Way of putting the question, and until we have Ministers who will consider national honour and the rights of our subjects to be the primary object of their efforts and the legitimate st strong goal of their.exertions, w e s h a ll a l ways b e an noyed by these casualti es . E very S tate i n turn will use our advant ages , an d take care to abuse terms if we do n o t conce d e to them their requests. It i s s t range that a more general exp ress i on o f i nd i gnation is in e every pretty iotag of n not manifested by the House concerning the con duct of the Government. The session is wearing away, and speeches, however brilliant, will not remedy matters if once the recess arrives without anything decided or definite being done. It is the same in America, the same in Prussia. We are at a discount, and the old notion that an Englishman need only proclaim his birthsplece to be treated with respect, is now quite out of date. The men now in office cannot much longer carry on the affairs, of the country ; but they will leave a legacy behind them that for many years may not bs altogether got rid of. When once the prestige of a country is injured, it is long before it can be restored ; it is more difficult to rehabilitate a reputation than to make one sometimes, FUNERAL OF MARSHAL PELISSIER. The funeral of Marshal Pelissier, Duke of Male. koff, took place on Thursday in the Church of the 'nyelides. Military honours were paid to his re mains by the veterans of the Hospital in the inte rior of the hotel, and one on the outside by a brigade of infantry of the Imperial Guard, two squadrons of cavalry, a battalion of the Garde de Paris, half a mounted squadron of the same Guard, a division of nine battalions of the Ist Corps d'Armee, and two squadrons and two batteries of artillery. These troops were commanded by Marshal Magnan, and were formed in close column on the esplanade facing the grand entrance. Two salutes of 13 guns were fired by a half battery placed on the quay of the Invalides—one salute at the commencement of the funeral ceremony, and the other at the conclusion when the troops defiled. The Church of the lava lides was entirely hung with black cloth, orna mented with the Marshal's arms. A rich catafalque was raised in the middle of the nave; twelve non commissioned officers, four of the Guard and eight of the Line, stood round the coffin. After the reli gious service the coffin was placed in a hearse drawn by six horses, which, according to custom, walked across the large courtyard to the outer gate of the Hotel des Invalides. The corners of the pall were held by Marshal Valliant, General Marquis d'Haut poul, Count Walewski, and M. Mercier Lacombe, Director of the Interior in Algeria. When the cortege arrived at the external gate all the troops defiled before the coffin. Tho funeral cortege then rotereed to the ohnreh, and the coffin was lifted frpm the hearse and carried by twelve non-commis• sioned efficeis to the vault prepared for it. All the Ministers, all the Marshals, Admirals, and General officers present in Paris, all the Emperor's military household, the Algerian deputation, and deputations from the great bodies of the State assisted at the ceremony.

Finding Lee's position on the South Anna very strong, General Grant made another flanking movement on Thursday night. He withdrew across North Anne, marched to Hanover Town, and crossed the Pamunkey, at that point occupying on Sunday a front three miles South of the Pamunkey. Lee withdrew from the South Anna on the night of Grant's movement, and took up a position north of the Chickahominy, on the Mechanicsville road, south of Totopatamoy Creek, his right resting on Shady Grove. The latest advicas state that on Monday evening Lee attacked Warren, near Shady Grove, on Grant's left, bat was repulsed with severe slaughter. To relieve Warren, Meade then ordered a general attack. Hancock alone received the order in time to attack before dark; he drove the Confederates from their entrenched line, and still holds it. Burnside's whole corps has crossed the Totopata moy Creek, and made a junction with Warren. The Confederates were repulsed on Monday and Tuesday in an attack upon Butler's lines and on his works at Spring Hill, east of the Appatomax. The latest from Sherman states that the Confedc, rates attacked him on Tuesday, but were repulsed, Sherman's left reaching the railroad near Maratta, the object of his movement. Money easy.

' [FROM THE " TIMES" CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, MAY 31. On Thursday morning Grant, discovering Lee's position between the North and South Anna rivers to be too formidable for assault, recrossed the North Anna, and, during the night, moved by the Taft to the Pamunky, which he crossed on Friday and Saturday at Hanover Town, 12 miles from Rickmond. His official despatches from that place, to 2 p.m. on the 19th inst., report his army to be three miles south of the river. Lee is reported, upon the discovery of Grant's movement, to have swung round his left into a position confronting the Federale, and completely still holds Hanover Court House, and is under the command of General Breckenridge. Secretary Stanton announces that Butler is now acting only on the defensive, and that Oen. Ba!dy Smith, with the 18ch Army Corps, has been trans ferred, via Fortress Monroe, to the Potomac Army. Whitehouse, on the York River, is now Grant's base of supplies. Sherman reports en engagement between Mac- pherson and the Confederates, near Dallas, on the 28th inst., in which the Confederates lost 250 men in killed and wounded, and 300 prisoners. The Federal loss is stated at 500. It is believed that General Johnston will continue to retire, and defer a general engagement until he reaches Atlanta, where he expects to be reinforced by General Polk's army. Confederates Forrest and Buford have returned to Western Kentucky. Fears are entertained of another attack upon Paducah. The Federal ganboats Granite City and Nyanga were captured in the Caledsian River by the Con federates on the 6th.

The camp equi page, consisting of 90 tents, three large marquees, 1,126 blankets, 80 leather buckets, was supplied from the Government stores at Harwich. The task of pitching the tents was performed by thirty or forty members of the Bury and other corps, under the direction of Adjutant Barnardiston. The tents were arranged in tw o Wings, with a broad way up the centre ; the privates'tents being in front, and those of the officers behind, while the tents and two mar quees appropriated to the use of the staff formed a line from flick to flank in rear of the whole. At the review on Thursday about 400 Volunteers were as sembled, and the troops were under the general com mand of Colonel Anstruther. A variety of move ments of the usual character having been executed, Colonel IT.Murdo said hi had come down expecting much, and had not been disappointed. He hoped before the battalion left the camp every man would know how to pitch and slrike his tent. He was pleased to see that the arms of the Suffolk Volunteers were in good order; he was satisfied also with their ap pearance physically as men fit to bear arms, and he hoped that when he next reviewed them he should see the eff,ct of the capitation grant upon their uni forms. Their pouches should be larger, bill should carry at least 60 rounds of ball cartridge, for the day might come in which they would look about them to see where they could got more ammu nition. Great precision of movement was all fudge in battle, although it was all right on the parade-ground of regular -troops, To his mind the Volunteer should be a sober-minded, God-fearing man, earnest, and determined to help his country at the pinch, to learn as much of mili tary drill as was necessary for absolute warfare, to be obedient to his officers, and to trust to those officers placi n g him in a position where his qualities as a bravo steady man might make him useful in the day of battle. Precision of movemeitt might be thrown to the winds, although the main points should be accurately taken up, and all move ments should be so well k n own that they could b e executed "at the doubie." Now that Volunteers took a large sum yearly from the public purse they had imposed upon themselves a grave responsibility, and he hoped that they would work up to what was expected of them, not only by the country and the Government, but also by their sweethearts and wives. LADIES' BATHING DRESSES.--What a remarkably uncomfortable, inconvenient dress Eoglish ladies adopt for bathing. They are prone enough to follow French tastes in bonnets and shawls. Wny not go a little further, and adopt their really capital bathing costume? It would not, when they rose Venus. like from the waves cling to them, producing that statuesque effect which I may sappose it is their object to avoid. But this is only a minor advan tage. It would only remain for gentlemen, as is the case at the best French watering places, where the use of f u ll cos tume by bath the gentlemen and the ladies is comuulscry, to adopt a similar dress for us to have real society in the sea ; and when this takes place ladies will soon be swimmers. At Biarritz a gentleman asks a lady to swim with him in the morning just as readily as he would invite her to waltz at night, Why not in England ? At Brighton as at Boulogne—in Devonshire as at Dieppe. The ladies have everything to gain by it, the gentlemen nothing to lose.— Landcn Socidy, DR. NEY: :- .IAN . S MASTERLY SERIES Or PAM PHLZIS, entitled Apoiogia pro vita Sw2, recently published by the Messrs. Longman and Co., of the how, are understood to have sold already to the extraordinary number of 4i,000 copies. Unprecedented though this enormous sale is, within so very brief an interval, it can hardly be matter for wonder remembering who the man is who has written the work—as it certainly can be no matter for agtonishn,ent to tiv,ss who.have read the work them- Shipbuilding on the Tyne, A large iron steamsnip, Lti lai gee', 1. 6 .1.;, built on the Tyne, the screw steamer Erin, the property of the National Steam Navigation Com pany, will be launched from Messrs. Palmer Bro thers' iron shipbuilding yard at Jarrow on the 18th inst. She is 3,200 tons burden, 360 ft. long in the keel, 385 ft. over all, and 28ft. depth of hold. Two other large iron steamships, of exactly the same model as the Erin, are also building at Messrs. Pal iners', and three others will shortly be laid down of larger size, ell for the National Steam Navigation Company. Iron shipbuilding generally on the Tyne is brisk. In addition to the a bovementioned vessels and others, Messrs. Palmer are building nine large vessels under Lloyd's survey, and the other large iron shipbuilding yards on the Tyne are propor tionally well employed, The importation of Spanish grass, which is now extensively used in papers making, is assuming large proportions on the Tyne. Large warehouses are being erected in the Tyne dock for its stowage, and many thousands of tons of it are stacked on the wharves of these docks. „It is brought into the Tyne by the vessels engaged iu the Spanish coke trade, which bring it for return cargoes at a few shillings per ton, and the rail ways deliver it to the paper manufacturers in most parts of the country. The northern coal trade is at present in a very healthy condition, and most of the collieries are well employed. There is also an ex cellent demand for coke. The enormous dredging operations—there being nothing like them, it is supposed, in the country—which are being carries out by the River Tyne Improvement Comoissioners, are having a wonderful effect upon the trade of this river, as vessels can now sail at all times of the tide and large ships can now put to sea with cargoes coals never dreamt of a dozen years ago. During the past few days one of the Black Ball liners, tht Castlemain, belonging to Liverpool, sailed from the Tyne laden with 821 keels of steam coal, and a new iron ship, the Lancashire, left the port laden wits 77 keels of coal ; a number of large ships of equa tonnage are loading steam coals in the Northern berland Dick. It is anticipated that on the 24tt of June, or thereabouts, the foundation stone of b largo dock, specially intended for the accommoda• tion of vessels of great tonnage, will be laid by th, River Tyne Commissioners at the Lowlights, at flat low, or seaward end of Shields harbour. Messrs, Stephens' steamship, trading with and between tht Tyne and London, and the fleet of steamships trading between the Tyne and Hamburg and Rot• terdam, owned by Messrs. John Ormeston and Co., are being absorbed into a limited liability mi l:any. THUNDERSTORMS.—The Vales of the Rye anc Derwent, Yorkshire, were visited with heavy thunder- storms on Friday afternoon.
